gh-pr-comment - Add a comment to a pull request

gh pr comment [<number> | <url> | <branch>] [flags]

Add a comment to a GitHub pull request.

Without body text or attachments supplied through flags, the command will interactively prompt for the comment text.

Use --attach to upload an image or video. If the body already references an attached file, such as ![alt](./login.png), that reference is rewritten to point at the uploaded asset. Any attached file the body does not reference is appended to the end of the comment. You can attach up to 50 files per command.

Alt text for an image follows the path after #, as in --attach './login.png#The login error state'. Without it the filename is used. A reference already in the body keeps the alt text written there. Video renders as a player and has no alt text, so it cannot be given any.

Attach an image or video file, in '#' format
The comment body text
Read body text from file (use "-" to read from standard input)
Create a new comment if no comments are found. Can be used only with --edit-last
Delete the last comment of the current user
Edit the last comment of the current user

Open the web browser to write the comment
Skip the delete confirmation prompt when --delete-last is provided
